Watchable if you are ready to skip a lot
I was very puzzled by the reviews of this show, because most were either very high or very low. I think I get it now. There are probably two types of viewers. Those who are utterly charmed by the main couple, and their story line, so that they ignore all else, and those who can't overlook all the major flaws. I might have been in the later category, but I addressed that by fast forwarding a lot.So what works? The main couple. That's pretty much it. But that made the show enjoyable to me. Aside from both of them being ridiculously photogenic, their romantic arc is very well done. A beuatiful story with some nice ups and downs. There was one other couple storyline that surprisingly caught my attention towards the end (a redemption story), but that was really it.
What didn't work? Everything else. The villains in the story, and the storyline around them was so exaggerated, they might as well be a Disney villain. After a while, whenever i saw them, I just skipped ahead.
There was also the typical "dumb goofy people from the countryside". I admit i dont know a lot about the real Korea, but is everyone outside the big cities dumb and goofy? If not, and assume that's the case, someone should tell these writers to stop portraying them that way. So when they popped up, and started withthe goofy slapstick comedy, I skipped.
All in all, 6 was a charitable grade. But if you're ready to use the power of your fast forward button, the romantic storyline is beautiful.

Yet another kdrama with hyped up actors
The drama was overall good and it can entertain you when you feel like you want to watch a drama,but thats where you draw the line. Dont expect a very interesting stiryline with a very well exec Story development things like that. This is just a normal dramas with all the typical korean drama essence in it. The comedy scenes,the childhood connection, secondlead being the villian and main lead saving the female main lead. Thats it. Its overall a good drama. If you love kim soo hyun or kim ji won u can watch it. Do not expect it to be like its ok to not be ok. That drama had everything.This is just a overall well marketed drama thats it.

This Drama Came at the Right Time
The way I wait every week just for this drama's episodes to come out. I rarely write reviews, and ESPECIALLY before I have even finished the drama. But PLEASE I am OBSESSED with this drama. The whole cast is doing so well, and of course the main leads are stealing the show!! Their acting and expressions are so on point that I get absorbed in it. The way Kim Soo Hyun has such a variety of expressions!! I will update this review after I finish it, but this drama came at such a perfect time. I fee like there weren't too many interesting dramas airing right now but I finally have one I can enjoy each week. Also props to the cinematography, it makes me want to rewind just to see the camera angles/edits. It's so pretty. And I have been listening tp the posts religiously!! Highly recommend this drama, it truly put me in tears with the mixture of bittersweet romance. Episode 11 was the best one so far! You all should watch it and give it a chance if you haven't already!!!Was this review helpful to you?

THE GUY IS NOT IT
First I want to uncover this fl to really explain how trash the ml isOur female lead is a business driven girl who has the pressure of upholding her family's business while recently suffering from a miscarriage that led her husband to stop talking to her because she removed the baby furniture and didn't explain why like BOY SHE JUST HAD A MISCARRIAGE. Also out ml first presented himself as understanding the fl has a hard time expressing emotions then suddenly he didn't like that for the same exact reason????
Another thing is that when the female lead was dying he was happy since he didn't have file a divorce, cause either the writers are psychopaths or they were very sleep deprived because the I would never wish death or be happy to my greatest enemies , I would probably feel sad that the only time they can have fun and not be stressed about something was when they got diagnosed with a terminal illness.
Plus when she found the divorce contract and got that whole horrendous speech from our ml about how he hates her and wishes death. And it took him being drunk and a ' I actually love her' to clear up that all is crazy.
Also the writers using the female lead's family becoming broke and having to stay with the ml is crazy. Like isn't he also a top lawyer who rose up because of his wife :/
And also childhood trope shit annoys me so fucking much!
Bye Bye lovely people!

Drama of the Year 2024
Certamente o Drama of the Year 2024! Tudo ali é maravilhoso! A trilha sonora é marcante, a história é bem desenvolvida e bem amarrada, e a atuação dos protagonistas interpretados por Kim Ji-won é Kim So-hyun beira a perfeição. A química entre os dois então nem se fala, não conseguiria pensar em atores melhores para o papel. Os personagens secundários também contribuíram para o desenrolar da trama de maneira maravilhosa. Desde “Reply 1988” e “Tudo Bem Não Ser Normal” (que não coincidentemente o protagonista também é o Kim So-hyun) que eu não me emocionava tanto. Qualquer nota diferente de 10 seria um erro!Was this review helpful to you?
Dislikable FL, another toxic KDrama Chebol Family
I´ve began watching this drama because everyone liked it. I myself can´t swallow another episode. The FL is so dislikable! A woman so selfsentered, selfish, narcissistic and with tamper tantrums. Nothing on this woman for me to emphacise! Well, hopefully the actress does her job very well in depicting this character. I myself wouldn´t want to play such a narcissistic human! I got also heavily triggerd, but that´s my personal problem. The ML is this very sensitive man, I did like him very much. I can not watch any more, because I wish for the ML to get a divorce or that the FL dies. But that´s not going to happen, it´s a romantic drama after all! Her family it the steriotipical toxic KDrama Chebol Family. That´s not a new concept at all. For real, it´s getting old! Everyone is against each other. I can depict the ending in my head, and I´m going to be dissapointed, so I´m not going to watch any more.It´s just my opinion, but I don´t understand, why everyone likes this Drama.
Story: nothing new, the chebol family is toxic, the FL and ML struggle through their difficulties for a happy ending, while hurting each other along the way. So much I find it hard to understand, why they endure all this suffering!
Acting: very good cast. All of the acters so long play their roles belivable. Good actors after all! Side note: I find, that the FL and ML have no chemistry, but that´s probably because of the story. The actor of the ML has this cold, distand demenear in every one of his roles I watched so far, but can appear very sensitive and lovable.
Musik: appropriate sad soft balads. fits the drama
Rewatch Value: none for me
Overall: 5,5/10

Happy to watch it!
Good to see the understandings, love between both leads. I'm surprised after reading the article "5 Unknown Facts About 'Queen of Tears'". Female lead more elegant for the role and this is having good scenes. Female lead got noted in mind for her excellent acting in dramas The Heirs, Descendants of the Sun, and Fight for My Way.Was this review helpful to you?

What a rollercoaster of emotions!
what a rollercoaster of emotions! I love journey of their love story and how the families got together. To be honest I do not understand why there is so many negative comments.The production,OTS and ascting is great. Soo Hyun is awesome as always.
It is a great drama. I like the storyline and even the episodes are really long I did not get bored. But I have to say towards the end the plot became a little bit enoying as I think they should concentrate more on their relationship than the ongoing revenge and the villain went totaly crazy, I think that was a little bit too much. And they sorted everything in last 5 minutes so we did not enjoy the happiness of our couple.
Overall it is a great drama.

I cried many tears
I thoroughly enjoyed this series so much! Absolutely loved it! Very emotional as it made me cry multiple times. It has laughter, crying, and sweet moments. I think the cast was amazing! A lot of big names! I think people are way too harsh in the reviews. This show was huge when it was airing for a reason!Was this review helpful to you?
